His Little Friend.

IufAS Lclter.
Speaking of the devotion of women
and their fondness for correspondence,
a good story is told of ''Timothy Trim"
not long ago one of the most popular
writer's in France. He was on the staff
of the Petit Journal and his name was
Les Lespes.
For an entire year M. LespeS had re-
ceived weekly epiStle from an UNI
known female in Eastern France. Her
letters had at first expressed the respect
full attachment of reader of his articles,
then the birth of genuine affection, and
finally the development of an uncOntrol-
liable passion. AT the beginni G they
were signed "a Friend" thenh'.YOur
Friend and subsequently 'YOur Little
Friend"
His associates, noticing how carefully
he pressed the weekly missive to his
lips, began to jest with him regarding
the writer. He then privately loaned
the correspondence to his brethren of
the pen, and it even found its way to
the offices of other journals.
One day the Little Friend"
announced that she was about to come
to Paris and would pay visit to her
hearts idol. Timothy" spent more
than usual care on his toilet that morn
my, dllu, sure enough, during Tile
day lady was announced by the Office
boy,
''ShOw her in," was the reply of the
too prOcrastinating consumer of ink and
paper.
Trims friends-among whom was the
famous Tony Ravillion-were about to
discreetly retire, when a fretful voice
| exclaimed:
AT last shall see him, embrace him,
| and de-
With these words there burst into the
room with the suddenness of a cyclone a
female of five feet six. with pepper and
salt hair, nose like unto the beak of a
crow, an enormous mouth in which there
were only three teeth left, and generally
as unattractive as stone fence.
She bent over and took the journalist
in her arms, not at all abaShed by the
presence of spectators.

got her second wind, Il have come with

stopped and turned his head in their di-
rectiOn. He had scented them or seen
them, and the next bound would have
been given the hunters only running
shot, or perhaps no shot at all. But
they were too quick for him. Both rifles
rang out: The bear gave one leap back
ward and fell dead.
French had shot him throug the head
and Tom through the spinal cord, just
forward of the shoulder, both fatal shots.
Both guns had spoken so near together
that French asked Tom why he did not
fire. The hunters went back to the
hotel happy at their exploit, and so short
neighbOrS could hardly believe that they
had really shot the bear, till the enor-
nous carcass, nearly nine feet in length,
was dragged into the village by willing
hands.

alton of the association, the return
limit of tickets may be extended until
Sept s.
A rate of one fare for the round trip
has also been made by roads east of
Chicago, and teachers, their friends and
others attending the meeting can take
advantage of this opportunity and visit
some of the celebrated and beautiful
resorts of Canada and the Eastern states

ONE LEAP AND HE WAS DEAD,
How Tom French and His Father

Killed Nine-Foot Bear.
Boston Herald
To actually shoot bear in the Wilds
of Maine is really an achievement that
few can boast of. There are bears in
the woods of that state and New Hamp-
shire, but to shoot them is job as diff
cult as it is to see them. The bear is
pronounced one of the most difficult
animals to get sight of that frequent the
forests of this part of the country Bears
are killed in considerable numbers i'm
Maine every year, but in their capture
the rife or shotgun plays only a poor
part till after the giant steel-trap has
forced bruin to come to a halt. Keen
of sight, hearing and scent, the bear has
taken alarm and skulked away long be-
fore the sharpest hunter has seen him.
The best hunters and guides pronounce
the black bear the most difficult animal
to approach within gunshot Mr.. J. A.
French keeps hotel at Andover. Me-.
which is well known to visitors of the
Androscoggin lakes by the shortest
route. Mr.. French is noted foy-hun-
ter. His score last winter was twenty
six, chiefly killed with the gun. He is a
keen shot with the rifle, as is also his
son Tom, 10 years of age.
A few days ago farmer living mile
below French'S hotel, in Andover, found
that an old bear had killed a couple of
lambs from his flock of sheep. Mt.
French advised the careful housing of
the balance of the flock, but requested
that the dead lambs be suffered to re-
main where bruin had put an end to
their existence by single stroke of
his paw. Mr.. French says that he cal
culated that about the second night the
old bear would eturn to finish his re-
past. Accordingly, on the second night.
French and Tom took their rifles and
quietly stole away from home. About
10 O'Clock they were on the ground near
the dead lambs. They came to an am
bush about thirty yards away and calmly
waited for the moon to rise. By the
| time that luminary was well ND in the
sky an enormous black object was seen
| coming down the mountain.
"There he is" whispered French.
81 see hint" answered Tom. "You
| give the world" BY this time Toms
| gun rested on the top of the fence. but
French's gun was at his shoulder, with
out rest. The old bear rather slowly
and cautiously approached. At this mo-
ment another bear. up in the mountain,
only short distance away, gave that
dismal scream that generally unnerves
the night bear hunter, but not so French
and Tom. They were cycling their game
with all their might, trying to draw a
close bead on him by the moonlight. He

The Child's Message to His Mother
A Pathetic Story of Home Life,

Inc ChlIQ'S Message to HIS Mother
A Pathetic Story of Home Life.
NJ. L. Rayne, in Detroit Free Press.
Children are happy counselors.- They
are to our hard, practical, everyday
lives what the stars are to the heavens,
OF the flowers and birds to the earth.
All what would the world be to us
If the children were no more? !
Weshould dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before.
There is family in this city who are
dependent at this moment upon a little
child for all the present sunshine OF
their lives.
A few weeks ago the young wife and
mother was stricken down to die.
1t was so sudden, so dreadful when the
grave family physician called them to-
gether in the parlOr, and. in his solemn,
professional way, intimated to them the
truth-there was no home!
Then the question arose among them,
who should tell her?
Not the doctor! 1t would be cruel to
let the man of science go to their dear
one on such an errand.
Not the aged mother, who was to be
left childlesS and alone!
Nor the young husband, who was
walking the floor with clenched hands
ana reD6lllOuS sn6drC.sF 49,. -.
Not-there was only one other. and at
this moment he looked up from the book
he had been playing with unnoticed by
them all and asked gravely:
SIS my mamma 'd0in to die?''
Then, without waiting for an answer,
he sped from the room and upstairs as
fast as little feet would carry him.
Friends and neighbOrS were watching
by the sick woman They Wonderingly
noticed the pale face of the child as he
climbed on the bed and laid his small
head on his mothers pillow.
Mamma" he asked in sweet, caresS-
ing tones. lis you 'fraid to die?"
The mother looked at him with swift
intelligence. Perhaps she had been
thinking of this.
"Who-told- you-Charlie?" she
asked, family.
Doctor, an papa. an gamma-every-
body" he whispered. Mamma, dear
little mamma, doan' be 'fraid to die, ill
you?"
mo Charlie" said the young mother,
after one supreme pang of grief: mo,
mamma wont be afraid.'
Jus shut your eyes in e dark,
mamma, teep hold my hand-an', an
when you open 'em, mamma it'll be all
light there.''
When the family gathered awe
stricken at the bedside, Charlie held up
his little hand:
Hush! My mamma doan to sleep.
Her wont wake up here any more.''
And SO it proved. There was no heart
rending farewell, no agony of parting.
for when the young mother awOke she
had passed beyond, and, as baby Charlie
said, lit was all light there"
